Anstalt Wigmo T-28s.

Sun Oct 18, 2009 4:25 pm

Found an old photo of the CIA operated Anstalt Wigmo T-28s. This was given to me by a South African who flew in the Congo on Harvards, B-26K, and the T-28. He later flew L-29, Mig-15 and 17 in Biafra. Sorry about the quality. It was laser copied close to 20 years ago.

A CIA operation trying to help quell the communist supported rebellion by the so- called "Simbas" that spread terror throughout the Congo. If you scroll down two- thirds of this page http://worldatwar.net/chandelle/v2/v2n3/congo.html you will find some info about them. The guy who sent me the photos was a former South African AF pilot who flew in the Congo, first for Moise Tschombe, then later for the CIA.
